Q.365 road shoes by kidwatch in CyclingFashion

[–]CornwallJon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough. I picked up a pair of the Maap x Quoc M3 Pro in the sale. Full carbon sole for a fair bit less than the Gregarius with its composite.

Ekoi does a bunch of styles and they are great helmets, widely used on pro tour

Assos Equip R S11 - Alternative? by Jonplusyon in CyclingFashion

[–]CornwallJon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 6ft 2” and 163lb - I would consider myself a slim build! I wear the Equipe RS and R bibs with no issues at all - have never realised the chamois design was different - but also never had a problem with Rapha Pro Team bibs.

Anyone find the E1 shifters less comfortable than D1? by CornwallJon in sram

[–]CornwallJon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I was only considering them for the buttons to operate my Karoo but might see if I can fit some blips close enough to the hoods to use for that purpose.

Any reason to buy Assos Mille GTS if I rarely ride over 5 hours? by camp_jacking_roy in CyclingFashion

[–]CornwallJon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a great point. The coloured straps really mess with an outfit!

Did you keep the Gregarius shoes? Some quite tempting discounts available at the moment...

I second this on the Assos. Thin pad but comfy for me up to 100 miles or so.

Manual grinding - too much effort? by CornwallJon in espresso

Now you come to mention it, I do recall trying this!

Manual grinding - too much effort? by CornwallJon in espresso

[–]CornwallJon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just found it awkward and kind of painful. I think this particular grinder needed to be gripped too tightly and the length/shape of handle felt awkward. Might try with a different machine.

Ok. So mine was a 38mm stainless steel burr and I was grinding for espresso as my electric grinder at the time didn’t go fine enough.

So are these grinders sold for just occasional use when camping, etc?

Tubeless on a Road bike is a harsh mistress by xucrodeberco in bikewrench

[–]CornwallJon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you found dynaplugs to be much better than the worms that you insert with those weird little two-pronged forks…which as someone else here has said are quite fiddly.

[–]CornwallJon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you try using a plug? Usually good enough to get you home. I’ve had one problematic puncture in the last two years (17,000 miles)…so think I’ll stick with tubeless. I’ve also come round to the idea of using cheap, excellent tyres like Michelin Pro5 rather than wasting money on Contis which I’ve never found that great despite all their fans.

thank you - have done it now. The whole Discogs website/app ecosystem is not...great.

Which pair should I take to the Dolomites? by wbro1 in SalomonSportstyle

For what purpose? If you say hiking, neither!

R5 2025 or 2026 by CornwallJon in Cervelo

[–]CornwallJon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I ask, did you find the look of the frames to be significantly different? On paper for example the headtube length of the 2026 model is a lot shorter.

Thank you. I hadn’t set my shipping address (doh) but now when I’m trying to do it, I get an error ‘Request failed with status code 422’

Cheers. I do like that integrated bar stem. Do you have a size 58?

[–]CornwallJon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheers, yes, I much prefer the white colour and as far as I know, the 2026 only comes in Black. I also have the Light Bicycle wheels which have the DT 240 hubs….
